Which effect increases when a high-frequency RF signal propagates through a PCB trace with impedance discontinuities?

💡 Explanation

Signal reflections increase with impedance discontinuities because standing waves are produced by wave reflection; rather than the signal propagating cleanly, wave interference increases because of discontinuities. Therefore, the reflected signal amplitude rises; inductive, skin effect, and filter behaviors are affected differently.
